As always, everyone who calls FAAN about a product is instructed to call 
the manufacturer if they haven't already done so.

Barilla Fiori Pasta  (privacy) called to tell us her 
egg-allergic daughter had two reactions.  The first time she had some hives 
after eating about 4 pieces of pasta.  The symptoms were mild, and (privacy)  
was not sure what brought them on.  Several days later she ate about 10 
pieces, and about a half hour later had hives on her neck, back, and 
chest.  Shortly thereafter she started wheezing and (privacy)  administered the 
EpiPen.  When (privacy)  called the manufacturer she was told that this new 
shape of pasta is made on shared equipment with egg-containing 
pasta.  (privacy) does not have any of the pasta left.

Country Oven Honey Wheat Berry Bread by Inter-American Products, 
Inc.  (privacy) called to tell us she bought a loaf of 
this bread that contained sunflower seeds that were not labeled.  She 
encountered this some time ago and reported it to the manufacturer.  She 
was upset to see that the problem had not been corrected.
